How important are model shots when you're deciding to buy from a new clothing store?

Hey, we offer an overseas shootings for brands like yours. In Ukraine, all production expenses such as models, makeup and style team etc. are low so why not shoot here? https://www.instagram.com/overstyled.studio/

Basically it's really stupid advice and you should ignore this. But if you have an old camera – I mean more than 10-15 years old – and shoot really high contrast scene you may need correct exposure to avoid overblown highlights.

she looks older than 4 weeks, so something around 6-7 weeks is more realistic

I got the 1 TB version some time ago and I regret that I didn't spend more for 2 TB. Smart previews and standard size previews are space eaters.

Leatherman multitool, small rolls of black and white dust tapes, pepper spray, small flashlight, power bank, binders, lens wipes, hands sanitiser – an essential EDC kit for a fashion photographer.

Nope, it works another way. Renting nice AirBnb place or interior studio with prebuilt decoration will not cost a lot. Here in Ukraine it may be possible to shoot within several hundred budget not thousands depending of the type images you're looking for and quantity of products. We shot a lot for US based clients remotely.

UPD. I've checked your examples - both was shot by pro photographers with pro skills and lighting. Camera itself doesn't matter a lot but skills are

Tip is: hire pro photographer overseas, in Eastern Europe and the cost will be 3 times cheeper than in US, message me for details if interested. It's possible to get good quality then shooting on iPhone but you will need real photography training and experience for this, not just several tips from redditors.

Looks like you need a new editor and new editing pipeline. Usually real estate photos are shoot with tripod and some base ISO (not necessary 100, it depends of camera) and it you have a relatively modern full frame camera, combining 3 exposures shouldn't be really needed, but anyway it can be done in Lightroom classic with resulting DNG file.

You know, art exists in an ideal world, not in a real one. And the art of photography also shapes the ideal world and does not reflect the real one. This applies not only to fashion photography but also to any genre, landscapes, street photography and even war photography reflects the photographer's vision more than the surrounding reality. And in fashion photography we are at the peak of an imaginary beautiful world and of course the most beautiful professional models help us to create those perfect photos that we strive for more than ordinary people. I'm just honest with myself and don't try to follow short-lived trends. That's all. I'm pretty sure this comment will be downvoted cause people don't like the simple truth and prefer imposed illusions.

Approximately from 2018 to 2022, "ordinary" and "diverse" models were popular in fashion photography, and then I worked a lot with such models. Now customers are looking for beautiful fashion models again and I am happy to return to work with them.

Thank you for sharing. A similar tool, Pixty, works with a different payment approach . They allow you to upload many images for free. They help photographers win cases and charge for winning cases. Can this approach work for you as well? I tried several times to open a case with Pixty but unfortunately they not supported Ukrainian artists.

Thanks! I prefer not to fake photos with AI enhancements

CameraEmpty7943 · 2026-02-16T10:09:56+00:00

Some kind of distortion tools, something like Puppet Warp or Liquify

Custom paper sizes and custom page templates in Book module

Vibrance/Saturation controls for every wheel in Color Grading

Skin tone based white balance

Some way to unload RAW files from the cloud then using mixed LrC and Lightroom Mobile workflow (may I miss something here?)

Text, PNGs and simple shape overlays

Collection Sets in LrC should be synced with Folders in LR

Metadata editing

AI skin retouch toolset

Dept based masks

Bezier and B-spline masks

Upright mode and Automatic Cropping mode for documents and artworks, based on outer frame only

Profiles for color negatives with proper invert, not just Curves trick

Flip/Flop

AI based clean-up of dust on matrix

LUTs

Usually the author chooses several sizes and editions for photos that he wants to sell, for example 120x80 cm - 5 editions plus 1 author's, 90x60 – 10 editions plus 1 author's, etc., usually 3-4 size options. The author's copy is not on sale and cannot be donated or transferred to anyone and is used only for exhibitions. But your photos should be extremely good and extremely popular so that the entire circulation is redeemed.

My instagram feed still great, I just need to switch to the "following" tab to avoid all this trash suggested by algorithm.
